The Chatham County Health Department is teaming up with The Blood Connection to host a community blood drive on Thursday, February 29. The event is in response to a critical shortage of A- blood in the Savannah community, but all blood type donations are encouraged. You must be at least 16 years old and in good health to donate.
The Blood Connection’s mobile bus will be outside the health department at 1395 Eisenhower Drive on February 29 from 10 a.m. – 3p.m. All donors will receive a $70 eGift card from The Blood Connection.
Appointments are encouraged but not required and can be made by clicking the link below:

All blood donated to The Blood Connection in Savannah is used in the local area. Someone in the U.S. needs blood every two seconds, and donations can be used for many different needs like cancer patients, burn victims, trauma cases, and surgical procedures.
